This week’s release of Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown will decide the future of Sega’s fighting game franchise, as Sega’s chief producer Seiji Aoki commented on the game and what its release means for a potential Virtua Fighter 6.
“Nothing has been decided yet regarding Virtua Fighter 6, so I cannot make any statement,” Aoki said in an interview with Famitsu Magazine that was translated by SiliconEra. “But if you ask me whether I want to create it or not, I do want to create it. This title [Ultimate Showdown] will let us know whether there are demands and potentials for Virtua Fighter. We want to hype it up so it can connect to the next one.”
